The first step in ensuring better outcomes from stroke is getting to hospital quickly, and that means recognising the F.A.S.T. signs and calling triple zero (000) straight away.

Really won't do a damn fucking bit of good. Your stroke hospital is so fucking incompetent they have done nothing since 1996, when tPA was approved, to have protocols that get survivors recovered created and implemented. Don't believe me, ask your hospital EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE DONE SINCE 1996 THAT GETS SURVIVORS ANYWHERE CLOSE TO 100% RECOVERY.  Excuses are not allowed and if they say; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different.' , they need to be shot. 

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie,  'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke 'leader' will ream me out for making them look bad by being truthful , I look forward to that day.
